In the 2004 film, which won a dubious Best Picture Oscar at the 2006 honors, Newton played a lady who is explicitly attacked by a cop played by Matt Dillon. The scene includes Dillon’s character pulling over Newton’s character and her better half and attacking her during a full body search.
Addressing Vulture, Newton said that the ambush wasn’t expressly itemized in author/chief Paul Haggis’ content, and she accepted that another reference to Dillon’s character “finger-f******” her character was intended to be unexpected.

Upon the arrival of shooting the scene, Newton guaranteed that she was overwhelmed by Haggis’ translation of what happened among Newton and Dillon’s characters.
“Toward the start of that night, goodness god, Paul Haggis got me and Matt together, and before Matt, he said to me, ‘Are you wearing defensive clothing?'” Newton said. “Furthermore, they’re both like taking a gander at their feet. I’m similar to, ‘I mean, I’m simply wearing under … better believe it. Why?’ ‘Since I truly need this to be as genuine as, you probably are aware — I truly need to go there.'”

“I’m similar to, ‘What do you signify?’ ‘In light of the fact that I simply need Matt to feel like he can … ‘ And I understood what he was stating. I wasn’t in any event, contemplating the [earlier] scene that I’d said ‘finger-f***.’ It wasn’t until I saw the f***ing film, I’m similar to, “Goodness, f***ing damnation!'”
Newton said that she “went into [her] cosmetics trailer and burst into tears” after the discussion, including that it wasn’t on the grounds that she needed to do the scene, but since she didn’t think it was authentic. “Undoubtedly, to imply that a cop would hand-assault a lady in the avenues, and in a racially charged way, as well, I felt this dread I would not like to be a piece of putting that out on the planet, since I figured it couldn’t in any way, shape or form be valid,” she said.

It was just years after the fact, Newton included, that she got mindful of “the quantities of people of color who are explicitly manhandled by the police – it is really a wonder”.
Newton additionally uncovered in the meeting that she was “frightened” while working with Tom Cruise on Mission: Impossible II, portraying him as a “predominant individual [who] makes a decent attempt to be a pleasant individual”.
